I turn all my deck wheels. Put the deck all way down. Unhook everything then Jack up front end and slide out. Jack it up to slide back in. 2 minutes.

Andy, first thing I gotta ask is if your driveway slopes up towards the house? Or does it slope up towards the road? If it slopes down from your house to the road then it should do the trick. I'm saying this based on you making your first pass going down hill and then having the path you just cleared to plant one rear wheel in to help gain traction. A differential lock makes a huge improvement on traction, but if that alone doesn't do it then you could always add tire chains.

@@EshlemaniaTV I just inherited this tractor. My dad also has a snowblower attachment. I got stuck immediately after taking it out on a snow storm. I was thinking about chains, but I read on a forum that it's difficult to put chains on the 4 wheel steer unless you use a spacer kit. I have a 2006, if that makes a difference. Do you have any info on installing chains to the x534?

The models that have hydraulic deck lift use the same hydraulic lift system for the snow blower or plow. If it has manual lift for the mower deck, then it will use the same manual lift system for a snow blower or plow as well.

It's actually a pretty reliable set up on these tractors. The parts they use are pretty hefty and you rarely see any issues with any of the additional steering parts used to turn the rear wheels

Doing this procedure will put it back to the original reverse speed or slightly faster.

This one is older than that. Can't remember the exact year but I would say it's around 2010.

Not if you have the deck gauge wheels adjusted properly. And make sure to replace the wheels when they get worn out (Flat on top).

@@EshlemaniaTV no, in talking about the rubber tires. People have said that the rear rubber tires tear up the grass. Not talking about the mower deck and blades.

Never had a problem with those tires on our lawn. I have them on a Wheel Horse as well that I use for tractor pulling and for pulling a cart or other heavy things around the yard with and I never had an issue with it tearing up the lawn either. I know several people with these tires on X700 series tractors and haven't had any of them mention it. But I'm sure it depends a lot on what type of grass and soil you have.

👌 you're probably right. I was running it want due to tire type but the tight turn radius
